Since then, I've been brave enough to wear them ; ) Knitting socks was something I was looking forward to since I started kniting a year and a half ago. Anklets in a non-sock weight yarn were a perfect first sock project. You get to the challenging parts quickly. I made the second sock a little smaller than the first because the first one turned out a little too loose. So the yarn didn't pattern the same way but I really don't mind. I enjoyed knitting socks and there are more pairs in my future.</div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><p></p><br /><div><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><p></p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3552080396496545433-4005042692749652672?l=next-to-never.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ariellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09736707313852858923noreply@blogger.com2
